Help?
I tried to rivet the rudder spar caps, the top rudder rib and the rudder spar together. I did the two outside rivets first, had difficulty positioning the squeezer, and ended up with two bad rivets. Worse, I couldn't figure how to mount the assembly in the pillar drill, so attempted to drill out the rivets freehand. Ended up enlarging the holes.
Q1 - Which side should the rivets go in from? Maybe I was trying to do it the wrong way around.
Q2 - Any pointers on how to drill our rivets freehand?
Thanks...Keith_the_novice
